Winner #3 -- PoWn3d_0704

Winner #4, 5 and consolation prizes coming!
PoWn3d_0704 wrote:Hi, my name is John, I live in Oregon, USA, and I've been a hardcore PC gamer for as long as I could rip a computer apart. Though I'm 19, my PC gaming career started when I was 7 or so with Medal of Honor Allied Assault, a game I still play frequently. Since then, I have been addicted to FPS shooters. Medal of Honor turned into Call of Duty 4, my most played game with over 1000 hours of competivie multiplayer. From there I started playing the Battlefield series, and got very serious in Battlefield 3, losing only one single round in all of my competitive Squad Rush play. Gaming plays a big part in my life, and helps me get all of my competitiveness out.

My various PCs are my daily DIY projects. I have my main gaming machine that is focued on low latency. It has everything i can think of to reduce lag and latency. From the highest DPI mouse from Razer to the mechanical keyboard and short DisplayPort cable. The Asus monitor has one of the lowest latency displays in existance and GSync will only make it quicker. I also run a brand new Scrypt-mining rig that any DIY oriented person would love. The cable management and airflow has to be pristine to contain the heat and power consumption of that beast which fearures 4x MSI Twin Frozr 7950's overclocked past 1.1Ghz. On the other side of DIY's, I own a track day car that needs a lot of modification and love. I've lowered the car and even supercharged her all by myself. I purchased a cable for the car's ECU and tuned it myself. I love fiddling with anything electronic and will attempt to fix anything. I've done everything from delidding my i7 CPU to installing that supercharger in my car. DIY is one of the joys in my life.

So far, http://www.blurbusters.com/faq/120hz-monitors/ been immeasurably helpful for learning about which monitor to buy, and the unofficial Lightboost hack for my Asus 144hz monitor i chose after reading your review have made my gaming PC absolutely grand. I even used your site exclusively to pick out my new Sony KDL 70" TV, which I then promptly overclocked to 120hz. On top of all that, your http://testufo.com site has become one of my favorite bookmarks to show people, since they are always curious about the difference between lightboost 120hz vs 144 and 60 gz. I really appreciate the service.

In the future, I am going to be at PDXLan in early February to play CS:GO and Battlefield 4 against some of the best in the Northwest. I want that tactical advantage. I want to make sure my equipment is the best it can be. My SLI 670's coupled with all my low latency hardware make for an optimal platform from which to show off the GSync module. Considering I already have the Asus VG248QE monitor, one of the best around, the GSync upgrade would top off the ultimate competitive FPS machine. I want to win tournaments in February. Having nVidia demoed GSync to me at PDXLan in November, I know what a competitive edge people with it will possess.

Again, thanks for all you guys do for the high hz, low latency FPS lovers around here.

-John aka PoWn3d_0704

Good, I do already have your submission, so you are part of this contest.

Going forward, which username will you be posting as?
It's best to stick to one account on Blur Busters. Send me a PM if you want me to modify usernames, or remove one of the two accounts, it's a bit less confusing that way, y'know? ;)

Consolation prizes, cool.

Nvidia just announced that the DIY kit is $200 from their site. That's more money than I want to spend, for sure, but if I don't the Quake player in me will be forever disappointed. For some reason I thought it was going to be closer to $100.

I've torn apart monitors before. Most of the free stuff from my previous job was defective in some manner. When it wasn't cosmetic or something soldering could fix, then things got interesting.

Congratulations to the first three winners! I'm happy to see the strongly qualified ones selected first.

Wow $200? I was expecting $150 at most. That is really disappointing.
